This series of photo illustrations shows the predicted merger between the Milky Way and Andromeda as seen from Earth. The first frame is the present day; the last frame is 7 billion years from now.NASA In 2012, NASA predicted that the collision would occur in 4 billion years and would give...
Our Milky Way galaxy is a cannibal. It has grown by consuming other galaxies. Yet, it too, may be destined to collide and merge with an even bigger galaxy: Andromeda. Though galaxy collisions are normal events and NASA suspects this collision is inevitable (in billions of years), new ...
Scientists say there's a 50/50 chance that our Milky Way galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy, challenging previous certainty about this cosmic event.

Milky Way still bears the 10-billion-year-old scars of a galactic collision An international team of astronomers has now found evidence of a celestial smash-up between the Milky Way and an unknown dwarf galaxy that took place around eight to 10 billion years ago, and forever changed the fa...
A new simulation suggests the possible head-on collision of our Milky Way galaxy with the neighboring Andromeda galaxy comes down to a coin flip.
NASA - NASA's Hubble Shows Milky Way is Destined for Head-On Collision NASA astronomers announced Thursday they can now predict with certainty the next major cosmic event to affect our galaxy, sun, and solar system: the titanic collision of our Milky Way galaxy with the neighboring Andromeda ...
The monster collision between our Milky Way and fellow spiral galaxy Andromeda will occur about 4.5 billion years from now, rather than in 3.9 billion years.
The Milky Way will survive in its current form a bit longer than astronomers had thought, a new study suggests.
